GROUND CONTROL: Airman Ron will be collecting 

funds for rescue helicopters again this year. 

• By Isabella Adams 

AIRMAN RON will be 

back out in the community 

fundraising for Canterbury 

rescue helicopters. 

But he will not be walking 

90km like he did in 2022. 

Instead, he will be collecting 

funds outside Halswell and 

Wigram New Worlds for the 

Westpac and Roa Mining 

rescue helicopters. 

Ron Towner gained the 

nickname ‘Airman Ron’ two 

years ago when he raised 

$91,000 while walking 90km 

in the area around his home 

before his 90th birthday. He 

received national recognition 

for his efforts and appeared on 

TV show Seven Sharp. 

Ron was inspired to take up 

the challenge after one of his 

friends noticed him going on 

daily walks. She said he looked 

like Captain Tom Moore, a 

retired British Army officer 

who, in 2020, raised more 

than £32.79 million (NZD$60 

million) for the National Health 

Service while walking 100 

lengths of his garden before his 

100th birthday. 

The Canterbury rescue choppers’ 

latest campaign, which 

will be held in August, is called 

Back to Base. 

The now 91-year-old encourages 

retirees to take part. 

“I think you need to be doing 

Tom Moore 

something when you’re old, 

rather than just sitting around,” 

Ron said. 

Participants can choose from 

four distances – 9km, 49km, 

97km, and 155km – and can 

complete their chosen distance 

through walking, running, riding 

or skiing, all while gaining 

sponsors. 

The distances reflect the regular 

routes the air rescue service 

takes around Canterbury. 

Back to Base Crew chief Rick 

Knight said the challenge is 

about getting fit and boosting 

mental well-being, while 

directly supporting the critical 

training and equipment the 

rescue helicopters depend 

on. 

“Whether it’s hitting the gym, 

the golf course, or the great 

outdoors, this challenge is a 

chance to push limits and show 

creativity. 

“Our message is to sign up, 

start training, seek sponsorship, 

and support the crew to 

get Back to Base in August,” 

Knight said. 

Participants who fundraise 

more than $100 will receive 

a free medal to mark their 

achievement. 

Ron served for the Royal Air 

Force in England from 1948 to 

1951.

Pop-up puppet 

show proving 

a hit with crowd 

• By Emily O’Hagan 

HAROLD THE singing, 

dancing puppet has been 

hanging out in the central city 

– and he’s just one marionette 

putting a smile on people’s 

faces. 

Puppeteer Jacim Thompson 

has been performing 

lunchtime shows at Cashel 

Mall, to the delight of young 

and old passers-by. 

“The children – their 

reaction is amazing. 

“I actually let kids have a 

go as long as they’re gentle 

with (the puppet). If I can see 

they’re not going to mash it 

about. 

“And you can see the look on 

their face of how much natural 

movement it can get and, wow, 

this is not a PlayStation game 

but it feels so much fun,” he 

said. 

Thompson became 

interested in the craft earlier 

this year after finding puppets 

at a relative’s house. The 

Burwood puppeteer now 

makes his own marionettes on 

a 3D printer. 

“I’m constantly thinking 

about what puppet I could 

make and how can I bring a 

smile to people’s faces, and 

what other functions I could 

add, and what music can I 

learn,” he said. 

Thompson posts videos of 

his performances on social 

media. 

He has given the puppets 

their own names and 

personalities, including 

‘Psymon the mushroom’ and 

‘Boney the skeleton’. 

“So now I’m working on a 

teddy bear. I’ve got my little 

alien there who I’m hoping to 

get to blow bubbles, but I’m 

having trouble with that at 

the moment. I’ve got quite a 

few more in the works that I 

haven’t thought of names for 

yet,” he said. 

Thompson has been 

encouraged by the popularity 

of his performances and hopes 

to take his show to other 

locations around the city.

Panthers stalk the court 

• By Emily O’Hagan 

‘PANTHERS at Pioneer’ is an initiative 

aimed at breaking down barriers for 

people with disabilities, so they can play 

the sport they love. 

The basketballers range from primary 

school children through to people 

in their mid-twenties. The sessions 

teach the athletes new skills and 

help develop their team play. 

Pioneer Basketball Club 

manager Alice Clarkson said she 

enjoys creating a safe space for the 

players to do what they love. 

“We’ve got children in our 

community and in our family 

here who weren’t allowed to play 

at school, because they’ve got 

disabilities and they weren’t allowed to 

play anywhere else. 

“So, for them, when basketball is 

literally their favourite thing in the world, 

when not allowed to participate, it’s pretty 

massive.”

The club runs the initiative itself, 

holding sessions each Tuesday evening 

at the South West Baptist Church in 

Spreydon. 

The volunteer instructors are university 

students, who coach a group for beginners 

and another for players with more 

experience, teaching them different 

basketball skills and techniques. 

Clarkson said the players 

have formed a strong connection, 

which she believes is just as 

important as the sport itself. 

“We just create this community 

here where we’ve got children here 

who go to each other’s birthday 

parties and go connect outside of 

Panthers and that is what’s really 

special for us.” 

Clarkson believes the programme has 

made a big difference in the confidence of 

the young players and said the club’s goal 

is to make disability programmes more 

mainstream in the wider community.

Hot Lexus hybrid brings the wow factor 

BRINGING THE adrenalin rush 

and performance swagger to the 

Lexus RX large SUV range is the 

500h F-Sport with its high roller 

$142,990 price tag. 

This RX has undergone a 

total revamp, providing more 

convincing across the board 

performance, and exudes the 

class and quality that personifies 

the Lexus brand. The only RX 

powertrain offered here is a 

petrol-electric hybrid. 

Admission to the RX club is 

largely limited to those with six 

figures plus to spend on a highend 

large luxury SUV. 

You get a foot in the door 

with $120,990 for the RX 

350h, followed by the $131,990 

Limited we road tested recently, 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

and $135,990 if you tick the 

Enhancement Pack. There is a 

substantial and slightly scary 

financial leap to the exhilarating 

$142,990 RX 500h F-Sport under 

examination in this road test. 

This latest RX is a clean sheet 

design and brings a revolutionary 

twist in the evolution of this iconic 

Lexus SUV. 

The new F-Sport adds some 

serious wow factor to the lineup 

and its performance is in a 

completely different stratosphere, 

helping it make a strong case as a 

genuine performance-orientated 

luxury SUV. 

This model show cases how 

leading edge hybrid technology 

like this, and a tenacious all-wheel 

drive system can be a formidable 

Ratings out of 10: Performance 8; Handling 8; Build Quality

Overall points out of 10: 8 

force for performance good, in a 

well executed package such as this. 

The engineering team must 

have had a real light bulb moment 

when it created Bladescan 

adaptive high-beam headlights. 

This is a genuinely enlightened 

and clever ground-breaking 

design. 

Rotating blade-shaped 

mirrors are used to enhance 

the performance and darkness 

penetrating qualities of the LED 

headlights, so owners are never 

kept in the dark. 

Under the bonnet is one of the 

most advanced self-charging 

hybrid-electric drivetrains on the 

planet, featuring a super quick 2.4 

litre four-cylinder turbo petrol 

engine. 

Not sure of its pedigree, but it’s a 

first-time caller to our market but 

was most likely used in selected 

American Lexus models, where 

the brand is a luxury market 

colossus. In the F-Sport, with a 

couple of decent sized batteries, 

it makes a mighty 273kW of 

pulsating power. 

For those wondering what a 

performance-oriented Lexus 

hybrid would go like, the short 

answer is with sensational pace, 

and remarkable smoothness. 

It impresses on so many fronts. 

The crisp shifting auto is hard 

to fault, largely because it rarely 

deviates from the high standard 

it sets. 

Flat-folding rear seats create 

a generously proportioned 

rear cargo compartment with 

passenger space both front and 

rear hovering around the large 

luxury class SUV norm. Some 

will lament the loss of a third row 

of seats, a popular feature in the 

previous model. 

The settings of the independent 

suspension are firmer for the 

F-Sport in recognition of its new 

powerhouse performance status. 

With AWD fighting its corner, 

grip and traction are exceptional 

and a master stroke by the Lexus 

suspension tuning crew. 

Given its extra height and 

weight, the test vehicle was nimble 

and easy to manipulate over 

twisty terrain. Such road-holding 

athleticism has been created while 

still retaining just the right level of 

ride comfort. 

The subtle balance between 

luxury performance SUV 

road-holding while maintaining
